A New Safe in Town.


Great excitement prevailed ON our
streets Wednesday shortly after wagon
drew up in front Of our national Bank,
in which was something Of large proper
ton securely done up in basging. What
was il ? many asked No one seemed
to know. But after some time the wrap
pings were removed, aud 10 and behold
It was a brand new safe. OF course,
everybody wondered what the bank
wanted with the safe,-because all
thought it was safe enough without one.
But not so. The splendid burglar-proof
safe was placed in the bank for the pur-
p sc perhaps Of holding the surplus cash
OF THE LEDGER, but many will not be-
lieve it. The thing is well adapted for
that purpose. Ample room will remain
after our treasure is stored to admit our
deyil as Waterman. We trust this little
item will not deter delinquents from
making settlement. Perhaps it will be
well enough not to lay too great stress on
this piece Of mechanical skill being for
our especial use. We would rather have
our readers know that the Newark Ma
tional Bank has put in its building one
of Marvin & Co.'s fire and burglar-proof
safes.

No Interest in the Struggle.

Major ]. H. Shelton related in
our hearing the following diverting
incidents of the sanguinary battle of
Sharpsburg, or Antietam:
Gen. Barksdale drew his brigade
up in line and addressed them in
substance as follows: D..
"Men, upon this battle hangs in
all PROBABILITY the destiny of the
ConfederAcy, the destiny Of our he
loved homes, the destiny of our pro-
perty, the d, stiny Of nur ls'hrrs, OF
our mothers, of our wives, nf uur
swcethearts. Then let every nlan VI
us be hero in the strife AMI .cquil
ourselves like men. If there be Il
man among you that I'ossesses none
uf these precious things that | have
lust enumerated and feels that he
has nothing to battle for, if he will
step to the front / will give him,
permission TO retire to ignominious
safety"
At this juncture two lean, lank
officiating looking shadows Of men
stepped to the front, and one of
them in nasal tones drawled out:
"Gen'rul, men him." pointing to
his comrade, "haint got no home,
no pappy, no nanny, no wife, no
sweetheart, an nary nigger-kin we
go?"
The General looked at them with
whitening scorn for a few seconds,
and then, pointing to the woods in
the rear, Numbered: "Gitl" And
they got.
While the battle was at its height,
and the cannons' thunder fairly
made the ground quake, and the
shells and grapeshot shrieked
through the murky air like veritable
demons, Gen. "Ranse" Wright saw a
fellow running out of the fight like
scared rabbit. The General drew
his pistol, and, putting spurs to his
horse, intercepted the recreant sol
dier and shouted to him:
$50 back to your place, sir; go
back or I'll shoot you"
The frightened skulker yelled
back; "Shoot and behanged to you;
them fellers hev got a laundering
sight bigger guns than you hevP
and, darling under the Generals
horses belly incontinently took to
his heels.
McCracken had his arm disabled
by a sharpshooter's bullet in the
trenches around Petersburg, but, re-
fusing a discharge was among the
few ragged rebs that grounded their
arms when the sun of the Confed-
eracy went down behind the hills of
Appomattox.

On the Wheel.



Tho popularity Of cycling is growing.
Thomas Stevens, who has just been
around the globe on wheel says that
the best roads in the world are found in
British India The Grand Trunk road is
1000 miles, an unbroken highway of
marvellous perfection, from Pershawar
on the Afghan frontier to Calcutta. It is
made Of smooth, hard, natural concrete,
beds Of which lie along the line.
How such roads would be appreciated
by the enthusiastic 'cyclers of this coun-
tryl
The wonderful achievement Of Mr..
Stevens, in the face of myriad dangers,
entities him to all his honors

however, is Richard Howell, of Leicester,

lie commenced riding in 1879 and in
1881. at Belgravia grounds, Leicester, he
won the one-mile championship OF the
world, beating all the best men of the
day.
From tlint time his career has been
one Of almost unbrUken successes. He
came to the United States in 1884 and
1855, and ut the great Springfield tourna-
ment in 1855, won seven out of eight
races
In the 'tgeliag NcTs (Eng.), October
LIST, 1887, is the following interview with
him.
"What are your best performances"
"rhis year did full mile on the
track at Coventry in minutes, 50
seconds. Cool judges think, with every
thing in my favor, could do $50 for
the distance"
"W hat is your system Of training2'
Il eat plain good fool, and plenty Of it,
| take little walk before breakfast, and
then after that meal, # l am logry, ride
eight or nine miles ON the track here, in
thick flannels. After dinner l do sumo
'slogging' work, and may be walk and
and early to bed.
"But there is one idea of mine which l
have found invaluable. If have done
too much work, or my system is out of
order, or if / don't feel quite sound, l
take what l have used since was queer
in 1888. have always found that War
ner's safe cure sets me up and puts me
to rights again, and it is remedy which
I believe in and tell all my friends about.
"In the winter-time especially, when
you can easily understand am not so
careful of my health as in the spring,
summer or autumn, have found it in
valuable,
all want, to beat the fastest bicycist
in the world, is plenty of practice, an
occasional dose of my favorite, and my
machine"
"When am about right in weight I
content myself with short, sharp bursts
as hard as ever can go on the track,
and when can cover 440 yards in thirty
seconds with a flying start, reckon to
be moving as well as want to.
Bicycling is glorious sport, but it has
its physical i'll effects which, however,
can be easily overcome by the method
used by Champion Howell.

With every advance of emigration in
to the far West, new demand is created
for Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Newly
peopled regions are frequently less salu-
brious than older settled localities, an ac-
count of the miasma which rises from
recently cleared land, particularly along
the banks of rivers that are subject to
freshets. The agricultural or mining
cmigrant soon learns, when he does not
already know, that the Bitters afford the
only sure protection against malaria, and
those disorders Of the stomach, liver and
bowels, to which climate changes, expos

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years Doctors pronounced it
local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly falling to cure
with local treatment pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F.
J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure now on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts di-
rectly upon the blood and muscus sur
faces Of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for circular and testimonials.

Prof. LOisette's Memory Discovery.

Prof Loisette's new system of memory
training, taught by correspondence at 237
Fifth Ave, New York, seems to supply a
general want. He has had two classes at
Yale of 200 each, $50 at Oherlin College,
300 at Norwich, 100 Columbia law stu
dents, 400 at Wellesley College, and 400
at University of Penn, &c. Such patron
age and the endorsement of such men as
Mark Twain, DIR. Buckley, Prof VIM. r.
Harper, of Yale, &C., place the claim of
Prof. Loisette upon the highest ground.

What is Killing the Horses.

DIR Ward ofBaltimore, state veterinary
Surgeon, accompanied by two Baltimore
physicians, visited Elkton ON Monday,
and in company with DIR. Rowland of this
city, vetinary surgeon for Delaware, and
Drs. j. H. lamar and ]. w. Cooper of
Elkton, visited the farm ofJohn Fenton,
about mile from Elkton. Mr.. Fenton
who had lost three horses from disease
that has been prevalent in Cecil county,
of late, and was generally supposed to be
cerebro spinal meningitis, but is said by
DIR. Ward to be catarrhal fever, had three
more horses i'll with the disease. There
was post-mortem examination of one
of the three that died last week by most
of the physicians that were present on
Monday. Its death was attributed to ca
tarrhal fever. All the surgeons were
evidently not satisfied, and hence the
second visit. Two mares that were i'll of
the disease were killed on Monday by
the state veterinary surgeon. One was
in dying condition, and the other had
only been i'll since Saturday. This, with
the dead animal that was examined last
week, gave post-mortem examination of
animals in the early and last stages Of the
disease as well as after death from it.
The surgeons found no pathological les
ion, whatever, and were unable 10 ascer-
tain the nature of the disease. Parts of
the animal were taken to Baltimore for
examination under the microscope
